The famous DP World Tour sensation, Pablo Larrazabal, has come up with an interesting new idea for what some have called a bizarre event format. This idea originated in his consciousness after Andy Sullivan’s interesting performance.

Sullivan deployed only his five-iron and scored 78 in one round. His wonderful round under 80 with only one club grabbed the attention of the entirety of the golf world. This gave Larrazabal the idea to suggest a new DP World Tour event where the players involved could only carry four clubs.

In his words, “What about a DP World Tour tournament that you can only carry four clubs? Good for caddies, great for TV entertainment and innovation… sponsors will be super happy.”

 

While the DP World Tour has not given an official confirmation of any such event so far, this burning idea has found the support of many of his tour mates. Only time will tell if the DPN World Tour will add this interesting new format to its roster or not. Meanwhile, the PGA Tour is set to launch the TGL Golf League this coming January.
